Medalcraft Mint Chosen to Mint Official Trump Inaugural Medal

GREEN BAY, Wis., Jan. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Medalcraft Mint, an industry leader in the manufacture of custom challenge coins and other high-quality commemoratives, has been chosen to mint the official medal celebrating the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States.

The Green Bay, Wisconsin-based company previously had been selected to mint the official inaugural medals for Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, as well as items for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.

"As an American company, we are honored to have been selected by three consecutive administrations to mint the Trump inaugural medal for the highest office in the land," said Jerry Moran, chief executive officer of Medalcraft Mint. "We are proud to attach the 'Made in the USA' notation to every product we make."

Every aspect of Medalcraft Mint's production takes place in its 32,000-square-foot facility in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The company has won more awards for superior metal striking over the past three decades than any company in its industry.

Medalcraft Mint's artisans use a die-striking process in which the medal's image is struck from dies rather than cast from molds. Die-striking presses material into the die cavity to create an exact impression of the image from a hand-cut die.

The company uses only solid materials, selected for their purity and metallic composition, in the minting process. Its craftsmen die-strike a wide range of medals, medallions, award recognitions, commemoratives and other items from brass, nickel-silver, bronze, copper and precious metals.

"Our history in being chosen to mint official inaugural medals speaks highly of our reputation for quality," Moran said. "Our attention to quality and detail is what sets us apart in a highly competitive industry."

Medalcraft Mint is known for its dedication to customer service, quality control, speed to market, and continual enhancements to its processes in its role as an industry leader. For more information about Medalcraft Mint's products, please go to http://medalcraftusa.com/ or call 800-558-6348.
